SDG - 2
The Department of Agricultural Science hosted a successful Seminar on Agricultural Machinery Exhibition & Idea Competition. The event served as a platform for students to showcase innovation, share knowledge, and collaborate on agricultural technology. This initiative encourages students to apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems, which is a key component of SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 4: Quality Education. The focus on technology and innovation also contributes to SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
The Department of Agricultural Science at DIU distributed 2.5 lakh vegetable seedlings during a training program for the farmers to help communities rebuild after recent floods. The initiative aims to promote sustainable recovery and resilience in flood-prone areas. This community engagement
Advanced Agricultural Technology:
The DIU Embedded System and Research Center is working on "Project Agro-Gem-E V1," which focuses on integrating advanced robotics, AI, and real-time data analytics to revolutionize crop management and enhance efficiency in agricultural practices.
The Department of Agricultural Science had grown approximately 3 to 4 million seedlings of Bina Dhan-17 and Bina Dhan-20 from 1.2 metric tons of paddy. These seedlings were distributed free of charge to marginal farmers in flood-affected areas once the situation normalizes to ensure zero hunger. This initiative is a proactive step to help farmers recover from crop losses and ensure food security, aligning with SDG 1: No Poverty, SDG 2: Zero Hunger, and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities. It also relates to SDG 13: Climate Action by addressing climate-related disaster impacts.
Students from the Department of Agricultural Science successfully conducted the seed sowing of Khoi and Dhonia Pata as part of their "Agronomy II: Weed Science" course. This hands-on activity provides practical experience in crop production, seed identification, and weed management strategies. This initiative enhances the students’ applied knowledge and skills, which contributes to SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 4: Quality Education by promoting sustainable agricultural practices and enriching academic curricula with practical experience.
A practical demonstration from Agricuiltural science department highlighted the hands-on approach to education. The session focused on applying theoretical knowledge to real-world agricultural practices, emphasizing that learning goes beyond the classroom. This initiative ensures that students are well-prepared for their future careers, which is a key aspect of both SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 4: Quality Education.
The Department of NFE organized a "Fruit-Based Innovative & Traditional Product Development Competition – Summer 2025," which served as a vibrant platform for students to unleash their creativity. The competition showcased unique food products and highlighted the power of food science and innovation. This event fosters entrepreneurial thinking and supports the future of food technology, aligning with SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 4: Quality Education, and SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
DIU's dedicated agricultural students packed vegetable seedlings for donation to flood-affected communities in Lalmonirhat. This initiative demonstrates the students’ commitment to service and compassion for those in need. By providing vegetable seedlings, the students are helping to restore food security and resilience in affected areas, which aligns with SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, and SDG 13: Climate Action by assisting communities affected by climate-related disasters.
